[Buildroot] [pull request] [RFC] Pull request for branch yem/instrument-build

[Yann E. MORIN <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>]

From: "Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>

Hello All!

This is an RFC about instrumenting the build process.

It works as thus:
  - we register a set of hooks
  - hooks are called before and after each steps

There are currently two hooks defined:
  - log steps with timings
  - call a user-supplied script

This is just a RFC for now, new hooks can be defined later on.

I'm planning on adding at least one other hook, that runs all scripts
present in support/step-hooks/ (or whatever its name). Eventually,
the user-supplied hook could be made to accept a directory instead of
a file, and run all scripts in that directory, too.

Open for comments! ;-)

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
